LOVE! This stuff is absolutely amazing! It makes my pale, pasty legs look super sexy! It never looks orange. It has a wonderful natural brown look. The only thing I don't like is all the glitter, which can look it a little unnatural. Other than that its fab! : )

I have been using this product on my legs for 6-7 years because I had eczema as a child, and I have a plethora of little scars all over my shins. I HATED when they decided to put glitter in this product, so unnatural and gross. But I think they have drastically reduced the amount of glitter in the newer versions. If you're looking for a self-tanner, this is not the product for you ESP IF YOU ARE FAIR SKINNED, and I would suggest gradual building self-tanners instead. This product has a fairly heavy coverage and a little bit of shimmer (be warned) and also transfers onto clothing if you don't let it dry for 20-30 mins. What I do is, moisturize, apply the product to my legs, blend it in with my hands, wait about 5 minutes, then put on an old pair of sweat pants/pj pants and continue with the rest of my getting ready routine. That way any excess will be kind of 'wicked away' by the inside of my pants (my 'sally' sweats, lol) and won't ruin whatever I'm putting on to go out. If I have the time, I even put it on before bed, sleep with my "sally" sweats on and in the morning the product is perfectly dry and safe. This is my HG product and I haven't found anything else remotely close for covering my eczema scars. So it's worth every penny to be able to wear shorts and skirts in the summer.

This product is brilliant and I usually wear it on nights out. It has a brilliant coverage, although if you have any very dark scars then it won't completely cover these (I have a few on my legs, but it does work pretty well). I don't only use it on my legs, I've used it on my arms and chest as well and it blends and dries quickly and easily, no faffing just wap it on before I go out.
It's just basically brilliant and I'd definitely class it as an essential. Oh and each can holds surprisingly quite a lot.

I love this product! It doesn't come off onto clothing and dries quickly and is totally waterproof. When I use it my friends tell me I have "Barbie legs"!
It also dries really fast! I would definitely buy it again and again and again!

I've used this for about 4 years now and consider it a really good quality product. I use it mainly when I go on vacation or am going on a night out clubbing/to a bar. Application is not messy (I spray it into my hand and then rub onto my legs) and the can, whilst pricey, lasts a pretty long time for me. It does have some slight shimmer in it but it's barely noticeable. Gives my legs a bit of colour, covers any small veins but doesn't do anything for small bruises. Lasting power is AMAZING - it stays on until I scrub it off with soap and water, doesn't melt off or anything. If you want totally flawless legs, first use MAC face & body and then finish it off with a quick spray of Airbrush Legs...your legs will look toned, slimmer and smooth!

Such a great product! I love the look of tanned legs and this product does the trick. It instantly gives you the look of tanned legs without any noticeable "imperfections." I am an avid user of self tanners, but this is something you can do minutes before going out and not have to wait for a tan to develop. Very good for when I do not have time to self tan (and wait for it to dry!).
Another great thing about this product is the staying power. I have used this product mainly for night outs with my girls. Whether we're going out for dinner, drinks, or dancing, it says on--no matter how much dancing/sweating I've done. It will literally stay on until you wash it off yourself with water and soap. And when you do, you really have to scrub a bit....I've sometimes noticed the product still on my legs even after I've showered!
Overall, it is a quick and easy way to achieve that airbrushed look on your legs. I will definitely purchase again!

Wonderful product! I have very light skin. I don't have a lot of experience with other self tanners, but my friend who does have a lot of experience recommended this product to me. Like many others have mentioned it is designed I guess to be more of a makeup for your legs, but really it gives very natural beautiful color. It has some shimmer in it so it gives you a glow. I wear it all over my body, except for my face, I wouldn't recommend using it on you face, just get bronzer. Only downside is that it can be a little messy. It sprays all over the place, but if you get it on the floor it easily washes off. I love the fact that it is very natural. One thing I can't stand is when girls have orange tans in the summer (I live in LA so you can imagine) it looks ridiculous. It's also very affordable. I always get a lot of compliments when I am wearing this product. People always think I just got back from vacay even though I had a 50 hour work week :)

This is my favourite product for my legs! I have very sensitive skin on my legs I tried SO many fake tanning/instant bronzing products on them all with the same outcome: my legs would break out in a rash once the product was absorbed into my skin. Thought I'd give this one a try, and the results were amazing! Covers brilliantly and I don't need to use too much to cover completely (at the beginning I wasn't applying properly and used LOADS) gives a gorgeous tanned glow and it didn't irritate my legs AT ALL! This is something I can't go without in summer, and I think the price is reasonable for what it achieves.

I don't know what I'd do without this stuff! I bought it a few years ago after a friend said it gives her legs a smooth, pantyhose effect without having to wear any. Well, back then I just liked it because I didn't have a true NEED for it. Now, after some kind of dermatology issue that caused itchy bumps on my legs for a good 10 months, I HAVE to use it until the scars fade. I wouldn't have been able to wear shorts, skirts, or capris this summer without it. It makes my scars so much less noticeable and just gives my legs an overall even tone. I even recommended this to a friend who has spider vein issues and she agrees that it does enough to cover them up. This product is totally worth it!

Great product! I have a feeling that this will become my HG tanning product. Before I was religiously using Jergens Express, but recently I have developed some weird allergy that the skin on my chest and shoulders doesn't "tan", it looks all blotchy and white, horrible! So I've stopped using Jergens sadly :(
Today I used Sally's for the 1st time after watching some great reviews on youtube. I bought medium glow, as I also use Medium-Dark skin tones in the Jergens line. The application went really well, I like how you can see the color immediately as you apply it, I also like the fact that you can wash it off at the end of the day. My only concern is how quickly I will go through the bottle as I ended up applying on my whole body.
I will definitely repurchase!

Better than pantyhose! I use this product when I don't have time to tan my oh-so-pale legs. Application could get a little tricky and messy since the spray color gets all over the place, so it's best to use it in the bathtub (so cleanup will be easier). I also like to spray the formula in dots or straight lines on my legs and then use my hands to blend the color. This is to ensure the color goes on naturally without any streaks. I notice the formula has a bit of shimmer in it. I usually use this when I go out at night. I can see how the color may look too orange when used during the daytime.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this product. First I should mention that this spray is intended to be makeup for legs, NOT a fake tan, but it can have that effect if you purchased a color that's darker than your skin tone. I know mine looks that way.

Anyway, I bought this to replace the use of pantyhose, so that I could minimize the imperfections on my legs like shaving pores, scars, and stretch marks, and this works great for that. However the application for this is really tricky -- it's hard to get this stuff completely even; I have to apply and then run to the window to check for streaks in natural light. It's a bit of a hassle.

I like this product, but it is really pricey so I only use it on special occasions or when I'm abroad on holiday. This makes my legs look near-flawless, covers light bruising and any small veins. I'm yellow undertoned and I don't find that this gives me an orangey cast. I own this in 3 shades (medium/tan/deep) and I don't notice too much of a difference between the colours to be honest. Spray it INTO your hand (don't just spray it onto your legs from the can) and then quickly blend. It dries quickly so make sure you work fast. I like to apply a light layer of coconut oil on my legs 1 hour before applying this, and it makes the blending process so easy. It does smell a bit funny at first but the smell soon disappears. Lasts all day/night and can be washed off with soap and water in the shower. It does transfer sometimes (don't wear white shorts or skirts with this!) but for the most part, it does stay put if you allow it to dry for 30mins before putting your clothes on. Like I said before, the price is too much...but I would repurchase for those special occasions!

I had a funny experience with this product. For so many years I have been trying to find a nice product to cover my skin imperfections and give me a nice tan look, of course not looking fake. The products I have tried are endless from Estee lauder, Fake Bake, Faux Tan by Bare Minerals, Mystic Tan, St.Tropez...honestly, I must have spent thousands! Imagine my surprise when I go to my son's friend birthday party and his mom looks so healthy and tan. I wearing my BE Faux Tan(applied 2x) pale in comparrision and her skin looked flawless. Our legs next to each other, my little hair follicles on my legs looked horrible, hers invisible. I asked her what she used and it was this product! Seriously? After after all these years, right at my local CVS was my HG product! So I went out and purchased the dark glow and I look like I am back from the tropics! We also use it on our arms and the rest of our bodies. The price is fine with me, everything else that I was trying was so much more expensive and I find a little goes a long way. Moral of the story for me : Expensive or department stores are NOT always better.

I have a skin condition which leaves little brown spots all over my legs so I never wore anything BUT pants, stockings or leggings until I found this. The reason why I like this is that it gives good coverage, making my legs look like they are indeed airbrush however this may be a downside for some people because it doesn't look very natural. You can tell that I have product on my legs and it does sort of stain but its turned into a staple for me because of the good coverage it gives on my legs. I'd rather people see my tanned and airbrushed looking legs then ugly spots. Its a little bit pricey but its easy and quick application and I've been purchasing it over and over again.

I love this product, I have nice legs but unfortunately for me I scar really easily and do kickboxing so I am very susceptible to dark scaring. I've tried other expensive brands like Dermablend, Exuviance from Ulta and other leg foundations but I haven't found the right texture or color. I am an NC 40-- sometimes lighter during winter, darker in summer and medium glow does a perfect job dimishing the dark scarring on my legs. If the shade doesn't blend in that well, I recommend spraying the color on and using elf's foundation brush to get even coverage. Otherwise, great buy! Only product of its price range that helps legs look sexier.

This is my summer staple with skirts at work and sundresses on weekends. I've tried many brands from Sephora and this is very similar to the expensive brands. Last year, I found this on sale at Walgreens for 2 for 1 and i thought I had won the lottery. I stocked up for this summer so I'm happy.
I have olive skin and the medium glow works well with my tone. Be careful not to spray too much or it will give you a fake look. Fortunately, i do not have any need for heavy cover up on my legs(yet) so I use it for even toned legs and arms. Best to keep the canister in an upright position to prevent clogging. I also with rinse the spray head if I see any build up after awhile. Otherwise, its a great product for a special glow without being a heavy cover up.

Let me just say this first, this product is good if you know how to use it properly and if you're using it under the right conditions.

Pros:
- has potential to make leg skin more even toned
-legs look better in pictures
-covers small hair pores

Cons:
- legs do not look natural in real-life
-13 bucks for a can and you have to use alot to completely cover both legs
- This stuff does stain for the first few minutes (i got some on my carpet..yikes)
- It dries really fast so applying can be hard, leaving you with streaks
- does not cover scars, veins, etc as much
-NOT quick process, took me 10 minutes to make sure I wasn't streaking or staining anywhere


Bottom line...good for photos but looks fake in real life, not easy to apply unless you're a pro at blending, which most of us aren't. If you want something quick, this product can be helpful...but otherwise stick to the gradual tanning products like Jergens, which will be cheaper, more natural and easier to use.

AMAZING..one of sally hansen's best products by far. I use this on legs, and arms! Its great for when you need to even out tan lines or want a great, quick glow. This stuff doesnt streak, looks so natural, and it does exactlly what it says..airbrushes imperfections. its a little pricey but i think its totally worth it. love love love it!

Let me start off with the bad points. First off, this product is darn expensive...just way way way too expensive. Because of this, I only use airbrush legs on special occasions otherwise I'd have to sell my house in order to buy cans of it.


Anyway, onto the good. I love the fact that it makes me feel extra confident about showing off my legs. It covers small imperfections such as light bruises or shaving bumps...I have a scar on the bottom of my leg from a motorbike exhaust (ouch!) and it doesn't cover it up fully but that's to be expected seeing as the accident burnt off 3 layers of my skin lol. It does make it slightly less noticeable though which is a plus. Application-wise, I don't understand how people are complaining about it getting everywhere...you're supposed to spray it into your hand...so how can it be getting on your carpets/walls/bathtub?!?! It's all very clean and simple for me, just spray it onto your hand and quickly rub it up and down your legs. It drys quickly so be fast!


The results are good, however, medium glow is slightly too light for my NC27-40 skin. It still works at covering my imperfections but it make my legs lighter than the rest of my body lol...tan glow and the deep glow go well on my skin though. Airbrush legs helps makes my legs look more toned and glowing, there is no noticeable shimmer in it and it looks natural on me. No orange, no patchiness and no fading until I scrub it off in the shower! Be careful if you're wearing white trousers/skirts/shorts though...there WILL be some slight rub-off, although it washes off easily. Would repurchase :)
